Verge Garden Materials
The following table outlines acceptable and unacceptable verge treatments. All treatment placed in the verge area should be permeable for water and set back to provide clear sightlines and safety areas for the public and access to any services.
To apply for an Accepted Material Type that requires approval, follow these steps:
1. Complete the below verge treatment form.
2. The Application Form must include a diagrammatic sketch, identifying any proposed Irrigation or Edible Plants proposed for the area. For all irrigation conditions, refer to the Installation of Irrigation on a Verge section.
3. If the application is adjacent to a strata-titled property, obtain written approval for the works from all strata owners/managers.
Proposed verge plantings must be submitted to the Town of East Fremantle with a diagrammatic sketch showing proposed locations of plants and proposed plant species and any irrigation. Graph paper to draw your design
Measure and draw up a plan of your verge identifying the dimensions and any existing features. This will help to determine how to arrange your verge and what can fit. Ensure plants are set back at least 1m from crossovers, kerbs, and footpaths to ensure plants do not obstruct pedestrians and vehicles as they grow. If you do not have a footpath, all plants must be set back at least 1.5 m from the kerb to allow pedestrian movement.
Happy Planting.
